THE WALL
Performance - "The Wall"
In a powerful and evocative performance titled "The Wall," Yana Mann brings to life the poignant poem penned by artist and sculptor Armin Najib. The performance seamlessly integrates sculptures, installations, and Najib's profound verses, creating a multi-sensory experience that transcends conventional artistic boundaries.
The stage is set amidst the aftermath of conflict, symbolised by the rubble that surrounds. Yana Mann stands in the midst of this devastation, embodying the resilient spirit captured in Najib's words. The air is thick with the echoes of war, and Mann skilfully conveys the palpable tension through her physical presence.
A central element of the performance is the symbolic seed that cracks, signifying the yearning for a breath of fresh air and the emergence of hope from the ruins. This moment serves as a metaphor for resilience and the indomitable human spirit that persists even in the darkest times.
As Mann sings “lay bricks one by one”, the audience is drawn into the process of rebuilding. The question lingers: will these walls, erected painstakingly, crumble again? The elusive truth is explored as the bricks stack up, each layer a testament to the fragility of human endeavours in the face of conflict and uncertainty.
“ESPERANZA”
DEMAYÄ, ARKADYAN feat. YANA MANN (remix Jean- Claude Ades)
With a penchant for strong groovy base and melodies with “a nice bit of tension”, Arkadyan and Demayä set about work on their collaborative EP Esperanza featuring Yana Mann: “In an early mix of the title track, we used a sample of Manu Chao’s voice, saying ‘esperanza, esperanza’, but a chance encounter in Dubai with mezzo soprano vocalist Yana Mann changed the course of the E.P. Inspired by the trumpet melody and the beat, Yana Mann came up with a vocal line and the result was a one-shot success. One enlightening taxi ride with Jean Claude Ades later and things started falling into place. The result is a miniature collection of “octopus rhythms”, with organic percussion and electronic beats jostling for attention with a plethora of live instruments and on-the-road pocket-mic field recordings.
